[Bifocal fractures of the leg].
The authors present the results obtained on 28 tibial bifocal fractures surgically treated with Kuntschers' intramedullary nailing and P.T.B. functional plastering. Among these cases, 21 occurred at the orthopaedic and traumatologic Clinic of Siena University, while the remaining 7 patients were treated at Chieti University. The authors point out the validity of this method comparing in with other different techniques (Grosse-Kempf method, intramedullary fixation obtained with Ender nails, both associated with functional treatment).
